India all-rounder found guilty of conduct contrary to spirit of the game for
involvement in incident with James Anderson during second day of first Test
at Trent Bridge

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been found guilty of "conduct contrary to the spirit of the game" and fined 50 per cent of his match fee.

Jadeja, 25, was involved in an incident with England bowler James Anderson during the second day of the team's first Test at Trent Bridge on July 10.

Anderson will learn his own fate after a separate hearing, which will be held on Friday, Aug 1.

Match referee David Boon said: "While I was in no doubt that confrontation did occur, and that such conduct was not in the spirit of the game and should not have taken place, I was not comfortably satisfied that this was a level 2 offence."

"Therefore, in exercising my discretion under Article 7.6.5 of the Code and having heard all the evidence, I was comfortably satisfied that Mr Jadeja had committed a level 1 offence under Article 2.1.8 of the Code."
